This will not only bo an institute fol dry farming farmers and dry farming instructors and teachers, but it will bs an exposition ef dry farming products such ns this or no other country haa over witnessed. There are pledged a! rvaiiy exhibits from thirteen Western states that are engaged in dry farming work. Th* organisation by states, to show what each is doing and capable of doing in the raising of grain and vegetable crupe. without Irrigation, is a feature never before undertaken In this diattret and promises some great surprises for visitors. The area of tillable lands in the United Stales not yet turned to culti vation Io comparatively small, and un der present oundltiono of demand by the homesteader will last but a few more yearn at most. It is only the part of good business judgment that the dry farming districts be investigated by those who contemplate getting a home under the free homestead law. Goul lands and the best locations will be the first taken. Each year will re duce the quality of lands to be disposed of aa government homesteads. Tho Dry Farming congress will be s good place to visit next October, in vi*w of getting dry farming Informa tion and dry farms on which to put it into practice.
